Daybook Entry

Outside our window...Its a cloudy day today. Warm enough to go without a coat, but not very pretty.

Within our walls...Today was testing day for the kids. We got up and got going early this morning, so this afternoon I'm catching up on laundry and straightening up the house. I seem to do more housework when I've been gone some of the day,

A heart of thanksgiving...So thankful for life. One of the first kindergarten students I taught died Unexpectantly last Wednesday night. I kept up with her and usually saw her once a year at church camp. She was always so friendly, and sweet. Her loss is felt by many people, she was active in college, and served at Camp Siloam for years. She knew the Lord, and is now resting in his arms.

A heart of prayer...I'vr been praying for sweet Shelby's family all week, Mike and Laurie are devastated and are feeling our prayers.

Random observations...

My silly children...Abby bought Daniel and David foam swords when we visited last week. Daniel said Stephen said they couldn't have them, but i didn't know why so I let them have them.  Now, David has a large bruise on his arm from where Daniel hit him with the sword! Now I know, Stephen might have been right. 

Thoughts from the kitchen...Last night was Aunt Janet's sweet and sour chicken, and tonight will be ball field food.

What I'm reading...I just started a book on sex written for boys. Oy Vay!

Projects...Anna and I were a bit crafty last week with my Cricut. This week, we're going to do it again,

Sounds of the moment...Friends is on the tv, and Daniel and David are playing Minecraft.

What I'm wearing...jeans, striped shirt, black tank, black shoes. 

A favorite thing from last week...Friday night I was all by myself for a few hours, oh it was bliss. But Saturday evening when all six of us were in the living room together topped that! I love my family.

On the calendar...A couple of ball games this week, and most importantly it's April. Birthday month!!!

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
